I've been trying to fill the void left by dubvee.org being taken down with periodic posts to !westvirginia@lemmy.world, but in the long run there's far too many communities on here that rely on one or two users for content.

A related, significant issue, yes.

Sometime back I had the idea that perhaps a group of us could pledge posting to a smallish set of communities that were great /c's in themselves, but needed a bit of help with content. My idea is that we'd each rotate between a group of communities, taking turns posting there so that no one person needed to be responsible for any certain place. Frequency of posting would simply be on some kind of regular basis, maybe anywhere from one post a week from each of us, to posting every day.

Things haven't been great for me lately, so I'm lagging in that project, but at some point I'd like to git 'er going. If that sounds interesting to you, keep your eye on !fedigrow@lemmy.zip, yeah?
